He was trapped, hemmed in by the Atlantic and the wild country of Donegal. No road. No telephone. Nowhere to run. On the seventh night I pulled the plug on the skiff tied up on the beach by his cottage. I settled into a gully a hundred and fifty meters from the front door and waited, a black shadow dripping rainwater in a muddy ditch. The moon was hidden by banks of cloud that rolled in across the ocean from Iceland. Thick, fast squalls cut visibility and drowned out everything except the waves ripping up the bay. The tide had turned. Conditions were perfect. He was alone. He went nowhere, did nothing, saw no one. He was scared. Or stupid. Or both. I didn't know who he was or what he'd done, but at seventy-five, he'd either forgotten how to run or didn't think he had to anymore. Maybe he just wasn't thinking at all. Desperate men live only in the present. That much I did know. For ten months I'd anticipated nothing beyond sunset. Since I was sixteen I'd seen no farther than the end of a barrel. The future was another country explored one day at a time. Interred in his thatched stone casket, he was waiting for someone or something. But whatever he was expecting, he wasn't expecting me. HeÕd already been inside for two days before I arrived. I watched the house for a week from a holiday park across the bay. Our lives ground down to the same rhythm. Each morning he rose at seven thirty. He lit an oil lamp and kept the windows covered. Candle grease smeared the panes. Only the faintest of shadows cast on the age-browned curtains allowed me to track him from the living room to the bedroom and back again. No smoke leaked from the chimney. The rooms would be damp and cold and half-heated by Calor gas. There was no electricity. If he cooked at all, it would have been in the living room. There were only two proper rooms, and a wooden washhouse tacked on the back-an ancient extension, perhaps once an elderly relative's bedroom. Maybe it covered a wellhead. Maybe he drank his whisky neat. Either way, he'd need to resupply before long. At dusk he lit the lamp again. He extinguished it at ten. And rose at seven thirty. Moss grew on the roof. Weeds tangled the kitchen garden. Garden trash was piled against the back door. The cottage was desolat
